Q: Questionhow can I use my blue yeti with a fishman amp? I tried using the headphone jack stepped up to larger jack, even routed it through computer/garage band, nada. obviously I'm not tech savvy. help!

Asked 4 years ago by Riley.

• A:Answer Hello Riley! The Blue Yeti is a USB Condenser Microphone, meaning that it needs to connect to a USB port of a computer (Mac or PC) to be able to use the microphone. What you need in your case is a Blue Yeti Professional USB Microphone, the one that has an XLR port on it, which is designed to connect to Amps like the Fisherman Amp you have, as well as computers through USB.

Q: QuestionI do video for my church and use Zoom to stream our Pastors from the pulpit. Is the Blue Yeti able to pick up audio from the church's main speakers and monitors into my MacBook Pro clear enough for the Zoom participants to hear?

Asked 4 years ago by mas1326.

• A:Answer Hello! So here is something to consider, when you are streaming music being played out of speakers and into a Microphone such as the Blue yeti, the audio gets very distorted. But!!! what you should do is use the Blue yeti for speaking, and then you can use the "line in" or loopback audio to play what is happening through the external speakers. Put simply, dont use the mic to record whats being played out of speakers, it most likely wont sound good. There are ways to make it so the audio being played out of the speakers is also played in the zoom meeting just by the using the computer to send the audio to two places (line audio).

Q: QuestionDo you recommend this mic for zoom meetings or a cheaper one?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Blue Microphones - Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone - Blackout

• A:Answer I think it's probably a little expensive for Zoom meetings. I think there is a mini version you might look at and see what the price is. Also if you can catch a sale that can help. If not on sale and if there isn't a mini that's cheaper and you only need a mic for Zoom meetings I'd look for something cheaper.

Q: QuestionIs there a compatible stand so that it is suspended and doesn"t pick up desk/key vibration from the user?

Asked 5 years ago by Jen.

• A:Answer You can buy a telescopic mic stand with suspension arm and it can be placed to be close to you without being so close to the keyboard. There are (pardon my memory lapse) additional peripheries you can buy which keep vibrations to a minimum. If you search for something along the lines of “anti-shock mic” you’ll see something that has rubber bands built into the framework. This is what I’m referring to, as those rubber bands help dissipate any vibrations before they get to the mic.
